🚂 THE NOVEMBER ARH ISSUE OUT NOW IN DIGITAL AND PRINT🚂
One of Australia’s historic rail achievements, the extension of the Main South Railway Line from Goulburn to Gunning, officially opened on 2 November 1875. Gunning is a small village of around 820 people located in the Southern Tablelands of NSW at an altitude of 578 metres. The town is noteworthy for being close to the starting point for Hume and Hovell’s 1824 overland expedition to Port Phillip Bay. The Main South Line reaching from Goulburn to Gunning was beyond doubt a major political, engineering and operational achievement so this month’s issue is fully dedicated to Gunning and what the arrival of the railways meant for the further development of the colony and the Southern Tablelands region with passengers, traffic and operations!
We also review riding in the cab of the Tinplate Express in the early 1960s and review the changes of Gunning and the region as a District Engineer in the late 1960s to 1970s (100 years since the opening) and the changes since!
All this and more in our November issue!
